Analysis of the quality of the potato crop using Ariguanabo 70 harvester machine
Main Article Content
Abstract
It takes 70 Ariguanabo combine to assess the quality of the potato crop in Cubaquivir Agroindustrial It takes 70 Ariguanabo combine to assess the quality of the potato crop in Cubaquivir Agroindustrial Company, located in the province of Pinar del Rio. The results indicate that the ability to clean the machine ranged between 74 and 77%, total losses are between 7,84 and 8,79%, and mechanical damage to potatoes harvested was between 6,54 and 8,15%, much higher than the permissible limits.
